Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 383 The Seal Is Released
"No, let me stay with you for a while at the end... Do you miss Mom and Dad?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Arakawa Hideyoshi's mouth. This was an expression that Arakawa Hideyoshi rarely had.

He nodded vigorously.

"Those people you killed, they also have parents... Son, you are already sick, and this disease cannot be cured. If you want to live, someone must die, and more and more..."

After listening to Arakawa Hideyoshi's words, his expression gradually changed and he hurriedly defended himself.

"I don't want to..."

"I know, child, I know, you are forced to do nothing, but you have to pay for your life..." Hideyoshi Arakawa stretched out his remaining hand with all his strength, wanting to touch his grandson, "If you survive, you will always die." One day, even your younger siblings will be killed by you."

"I won't... I won't..."

His lips trembled, as if he was arguing for himself.

But a cold drop hit the top of his head. He looked up and saw the bodies of five people hanging above him. Their stomachs had been disemboweled, and the blood dripped like melting ice, mercilessly reminding him of what is real .

"Sooner or later, not only will you kill the children of the Qianyue family, but even your parents will be unavoidable."

Arakawa Hideyoshi held on, using the last flame of his life to keep his mind clear.

Before the other personality had the upper hand, he had the opportunity to strangle this cursed murderer.

"Grandpa... what should I do?"

"It's very simple..."

Arakawa Hideyoshi's thin and messy white hair fluttered with the night wind.

"This place is more than 200 meters above the ground. Jump from here and everything will get better..."

"Yes, but I will die."

"Yes, to be honest... I have never tried to fall from such a high place, but once you hit the ground, your life will end without pain. Come with me..."

"But, grandpa... I still want to see my sister, I still want to see my parents..."

His voice trembled, hoping that his grandfather who had personally sent him to the dungeon would show him a way other than death.

But Arakawa Hideyoshi half-opened his eyes, unable to give him any answer, his dilated pupils were filled with the ashes of death.

With trembling fingers, he gently closed Grandpa's eyes, and then staggered to the edge of the railing like a newborn fawn.

The city made of concrete is so beautiful, and the windows of the houses exude all kinds of warm lights, like twinkling stars.

It was the first time for him to see such a gorgeous city. Although the time he escaped from the dungeon was very short, he had always been in the city.

But standing at an altitude of more than 200 meters, he jumped out and saw the city and the dark and vast ocean in the distance from another perspective.

What a beautiful world, but he had to say goodbye early.

It is impossible not to say goodbye, and the desire to kill is getting higher and higher in my heart.

And Qiu Xue and her parents will die in his hands in the end, which is the last thing he wants to see.

When he was very young, he understood the truth that borrowed things must be returned.

And the life killed must also be repaid, however insignificant it is.

The hands supporting the railing gradually became stronger, as if he was about to climb over the highest obstacle in the world... He was gradually completing his feat.

In fact, he has always been unwilling to admit that he killed the girls in the basement.

Before he knew the truth about the curse, he put all the blame on another personality.

But that's actually wrong, he himself is the most vicious murderer.

The other personality, just his split protective personality, is only responsible for protecting the weak him before the curse occurs, and separating the negative emotions in his heart. This kind of bystander's perspective makes him complain.

If he hadn't killed those pretty and beautiful girls, how could he have clearly remembered all the details from the killing to the preservation of the body?
Everything is just self-deception.

——[Do not want to die], [Do not want to die], [Want to live].

It was his deepest instinct.

But if you allow yourself to fall, the people you cherish will be harmed.

So he chooses to die.

In the process of climbing over the guardrail, another personality is activated, taking the initiative from the body.

The meaning of this personality is to protect him. At this moment, he is going to jump from a height of more than 200 meters, and the other personality cannot remain indifferent.

This fierce personality prevented him from suicidal behavior, desperately fighting for control of his body, leaning his body back so that he would not fall.

"Bastard! It's obviously not your fault, but you have to pay for it?"

"If you kill someone, you should pay with your life!"

"If that old guy didn't kill monsters, how could you be cursed, how could you be locked in that dungeon, how could you come out to kill people!? It's all their fault, their fault! These lives should be repaid by them!!" Another personality is sophistrying, roaring, "You have to live, and take back what belongs to you alive, and take it back together with the name 'Arakawa Nozomi', no one will remember what died, even Qiu Xue, we only have This is my life! We have nothing left!!"

But he himself has made up his mind.

He was thrown into a dungeon at an early age for making a grave mistake.

So I didn't learn much knowledge, and even my mental age stayed at the child stage.

For another personality, he didn't know if it was correct.

But it doesn't matter whose fault it is.

The important thing is that he lives in this world and will pose a threat to the people he cherishes.

——If you don’t die, you can’t do it.

Fragments of broken memories flooded my mind.

That was Qiu Xue's face, holding back the pain and weeping silently.

So... In order not to hurt anyone anymore, I can only follow in the footsteps of my grandfather to Huangquan.

At that moment, he jumped over the rail and fell like a black shot.

It only takes about six seconds for a person to fall from a height of 200 meters.

After six seconds, the thorn that surrounds the hearts of all exorcists will disappear.

At the same time, at the moment he jumped out, on the dead Arakawa Hideyoshi's left arm, a blue notch disappeared, like a neon light whose power had bottomed out, flickering and would never light up again.

The high-speed falling figure stopped abruptly, and there was still a distance of more than 100 meters from the ground. The murderer hung on the beam of the triangle bracket of Tokyo Tower.

"It's crazy... I'm so thirsty... Where is the blood?"

There were still tears on his face, but his expression had already switched to another person.

At the critical moment, the blood seal established by Arakawa Hideyoshi has disappeared with his life.

A curse that had been suppressed for years began to rebound, giving another personality a chance to strike back.

He hung one hand at a height of more than 100 meters, turned his head to look at the city below, his eyes had already turned red.

Unlike the red eyes of vampires, these are the eyes that only brutalized monsters have.

The original personality has been suppressed in the depths. Although his body is free, his heart has been locked in a cage again.

"Don't worry, when all this is over, I will return my body to you... In this world, I am the only one who treats you best. I am your relative, your brother. Don't be deceived by those people's rhetoric... Ah , I’m so hungry, anyway... let’s eat something first..."

He looked at the corpse high in the sky, and began to climb up like a dexterous gecko.

　Dual personalities generally do not realize the existence of the other personality. This situation is somewhat like Reznov's.By the way, it is explained in the article that negative emotions have been absorbed by another personality.
